I don't even think we there need to be an excuse for the fact that there are less X in Y.. Maybe an explanation would suffice?
My pov, not that it matters: I went to public school, roughly 50% of what looked superficially to be female (these days, you must not assume).
We had LAN parties in our spare time, no girls, they were invited, they were told about it, they didn't think sitting up all night in front of a computer sounded like a good time, fine, whatever.
After public school ended I went straight on to technical college, first day: 0 people who didn't somewhat resemble the male gender, at least superficially.
There were no events in between, no females or female-like people ever applied.
Third school experience (university college) was the same, only female interaction outside the secretariat was one of the teachers. No females ever applied.
They weren't rejected, excluded or harassed or anything, they simply were never there to begin with.
It's almost as if the females chose to do something else..
- TheLoafOfBread 4y agoExactly my experience - Elementary school roughly 50% of girls - High School / Vocational school (electronic engineering) 0% of girls - University 1 girl in the class of 50, so 2% of girls. Thus nobody can expect to have 50% of girls at the job life, when high school and college were complete sausage party. On the other hand, things like teaching (pedagogic universities) and nursing (medical schools) are almost always only girls.
